10% bleach

[Poconos]

Just a followup....results of checking Clorox vs Walmart bleach are inconclusive. Not sure why but the results are all over the map in spite of trying to be as precise as possible with the dilutions. All I can say is I never got any bleach concentration at or above 5.25% with any samples. Wish I had a pool store closeer than a half hour away but in any case next time I'm there I will check on the higher concentration stuff.

I'll bet the walmart stuff sits on a dock or in a wharehouse for a long time before being shipped to the stores.

Then again, they do such massive volumes, there is a great chance it is fresher than anywhere else. Walmart also has very tight inventory controls and doesn't have months of commodity products like bleach sitting in warehouses tying up room and cashflow.

To get the bleach from the large 15 gal. to the smaller bottles, buy a small bellows fluid siphon. Probably can get for $3-5.00. Just pump the plastic bellows pump to get started and fill away. The big jug need to be above the smaller jug for the siphon to work. To stop just put the end of the hose above the big jug and put another small jug on the floor to fill.
